AT&T Researchers — Inventing the Science Behind the Service

A method, computer readable medium for performing mobile presence aggregation are disclosed. For example, the method acquires presence information associated with a user, packages the presence information into a message and forwards the message containing the presence information via a non-session initiated protocol based transport protocol to a presences access layer server. In another embodiment, the method receives a message containing presence information in a non-session initiated protocol based transport protocol, identifies the presence information in the message, translates the presence information into a presence information data format and forwards the presence information in the presence information data format to a presence server.
